6.0 Earthquake Hits American Canyon!

2 years ago

They are calling it the "South Napa Quake:" According to the USGS, a magnitude 6.0 earthquake 3.7 NW of American Canyon struck at 3:20 this AM. There are reports of lots of building damage in downtown Napa and Vallejo and a dozen aftershocks. I'm also hearing of a fire at a trailer park in north Napa that is being dealt with. Please note that everyone is being advised NOT to call 911 unless you have an actual emergency. Lots of things knocked over and a lot of people waking up to their houses being trashed. There are gas leaks, power outages and water main breaks but, thankfully, few reports of injuries at this time(mostly minor cuts).

Meet Marcus and Sandy

For a kid from Salinas, being on the radio in San Francisco is an absolute dream. I was born in SLO and spent some time in Santa Barbara and Fresno so it's safe to say that I'm a Cali kid through and through. And not just Cali, but Cali coastal. In fact, if I don't have one toe in the Pacific Ocean at all times, I am not okay (sorry Fresno...you were just a fling). As I got older, I realized that my home is here in the Bay. I've lived in Hayward, Palo Alto, SF, Pacifica and now finally (after eight years in Seattle to make sure I wasn't missing anything) I bought a house in Half Moon Bay.

When I'm not on the radio, I LOVE being a Dad and watching my baby daughter discover the world one day at a time and doing projects around the house. You can usually find my family and I at the beach, headed out to Wine Country or just tooling around our favorite Farmer's Market or grocery store (I'm not kidding). I LOVE to cook and prep all the meals at home (including baby food) and LOVE to discover new flavors and dishes especially any recipe that has been handed down through generations or across borders. If you have one, send it over! Thanks for letting me live my dream hosting the morning show here on STAR and hopefully Sandy and I make you laugh daily. We really have the best time and we appreciate you listening more than you know.

Hi! I'm Sandy- a funny girl on the radio. I grew up in the Bay Area (Milpitas- don't be jealous!) and started my radio career in San Jose when I was 20 years old. It was also around that time I did my first "open mic" (at the Rose 'n Crown in Palo Alto) and ever since then, I knew I was a stand-up comedian. I've been fortunate enough to work every single club in the Bay Area (Punchline, Roosters, Improv, etc) with awesome people like Chelsea Handler, Dana Carvey, Richard Lewis, Kevin Hart, Will Durst, Brett Butler, and many more.

After 10 years of midday radio, I got the biggest break of my lifetime on March 5, 2012- I started mornings on Star 101.3! It has been an HONOR being here- an incredible learning experience and opportunity for growth. (P.S. I'm really into personal empowerment- I've been to several Tony Robbins seminars). Really blessed to have Marcus as my co-host, and to be a part of this company. I'm also passionate about LGBT rights, hosting/motivating women's groups, traveling (hello Vegas!) and weinerdogs. Yes, weinerdogs. They are so cute!!!

Hi! My name is Jenna Holmes and I am the Executive Producer for “Star Mornings with Marcus and Sandy” in the 4th LARGEST radio market in the country!

I was born and raised in the Bay Area (no place I would rather be!) and my main objective is to keep Marcus and Sandy on top of EVERYTHING! I literally started from the bottom and was able to work my way up to the top in radio. I interned for iHeartMedia for six months then quickly advanced to a paid promotional driving job, where I worked for 3 years. After 3 years I was offered the Promotion’s Coordinator position. Just a year and half later a producer spot opened, I went for it and was hired! This is the biggest break I have ever got and I worked so hard to get to… It doesn’t stop here, my goal in life is to learn as much as I can and I plan to keep climbing to the top!

When I’m not working in radio I spend most of my time with my best friend, my dog, “Trina”. I am an animal activist and more importantly a Pit Bull Activist. Animal’s well-being is very important to me and one day I hope to own a large amount of property so I can create a home for all of the stray cats and dogs in the world!

Music is also one of the most important necessities in my life. Music, besides my mom and dog, has been the only unconditional love I have encountered; rhythm is life and life is rhythm. This is just the beginning for me, so come along for the ride...
